The shop that did the work is experienced with tires and suspensions and Vanagons.  After the work I had a vibration that starts at about 35 mph and stops about 45 mph.  I feel the vibration in the steering wheel and shift lever.  At 30 mph and 60 mph it is quite smooth.  I went back to the shop and they tightened everything they had worked on.  A lower bolt on the front right shock was very loose, but they did not see anything else.  I drove home and the vibration continued.

For example, should both the upper and lower control arm bushings be done at the same time?  Could they have knocked a balance weight off one of the wheels?  If the wheel was off-balance would that vibrate all the time and not just at that certain speed?
